22. See Supplemental Material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/ PhysRevLett.109.216403 for discussion about the curve fitting using the third order polynomial (Fig. 1). Table I provides the parameters of fitting obtained with both Lorentzian and third order polynomial functions. Fig.2 shows the valence band spectra recorded by using ultra-violet photoemission spectroscopy for sputtered, crystalline and quasicrystalline Al-Pd-Mn surfaces along with the HAXPES spectra. Figs.3 and 4 show the absence of recoil effect from the comparison of the XPS and HAXPES core-level spectra.
